07/10/08 FRDKBURG Lease $16,000 55,166 Below SILVER 6G A

And for 2000: (no 2001s were sold recently)

The end price isn't that bad according to the latest Excellence mag...$18.7 to $27k depending on condition is what they say. Options and color have some influence too. No hardtop, no lits, no PSM, transmission type can all affect the price a bit.

I value my '01S with 54K miles in needs-nothing condition at $19.5k.

The risk you take of buying at auction...no chance for a PPI. Some might say that is why cars end up there..the dealer who took it in trade didn't want it...either because there were already too many on the market in his area, he couldn't move that kind of car, or he looked at it and didn't want to put any $ into fixing it up.

I paid $20k (a few weeks back) for my 2002 2.7 with 48k miles. I thought it was a bargain compared to the 06 Cayman I was looking at for more than twice the price and with only 25k miles less.
